Popcorn Culture - Throwback: Clue

Spoiler alert - we really like Clue! Based on the board game of the same-ish name and directed by Jonathan Lynn, 1985's Clue is a murder-mystery-comedy that gathers six blackmail victims in an isolated mansion in a race against time against a secret killer. With a plot that fully acknowledges its Cluedo roots, Clue is one of those movies that's always ripe for a rewatch. We discuss the ways the film has aged, the joy of watching Christopher Llyod and Tim Curry in the same scene, and the ways the movie has influenced modern mystery-comedies like Knives Out and Glass Onion.
